The collector's take on Banette
Is Banette worth grading?
So is Banette worth grading? Here's the honest breakdown: a raw copy sits at $11, a Grade 9 climbs to $38, and a PSA 10 sits at $112, which works out to 10.2 times the raw price. That's a meaningful jump, no question. But gem mint isn't a given, grading companies are picky about corners, centering, and surface, and you're paying a fee either way regardless of what comes back. If you've got a copy that looks clean under a loupe, sending it in can make sense, but if it's got soft corners or edge wear, you might be better off enjoying it raw or selling it as is. Grading is a bet, not a guarantee.
How rare is Banette?
Right now there are 264 total graded copies of Banette on record, and 187 of those are PSA 10. That's a pretty high percentage landing at the top grade, which tells you this card holds up reasonably well when it's handled and stored with care. It's not a scarce card by population alone, but the PSA 10 pool being this dominant means the real separation in value comes down to condition, not rarity of the print itself.
Where can you pull Banette?
We've tracked this card getting pulled 52 times across sites like lastpack, courtyard, and collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded hit coming in at $46. It's turned up in packs labeled noobie, Pokémon Starter Pack, starter, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Pokémon Basic Pack, so it's floating around in some pretty accessible break formats rather than hiding in a high-end box. That said, most pack openings don't return your money, so treat any Banette pull as a nice bonus rather than the plan. If you'd rather skip the gamble entirely, buying a known-condition copy on the secondary market is the more predictable route.
Questions people ask
How much is Banette worth?+
A raw, ungraded Banette from Ascended Heroes is valued around $11. Grade it up to a Grade 9 and it's worth $38, while a PSA 10 gem mint copy reaches $112. The jump from raw to PSA 10 is about 10.2 times the ungraded price.
Is Banette worth grading?+
It can be, if the copy is genuinely clean. The gap between raw at $11 and PSA 10 at $112 is real money, but with 187 of the 264 graded copies already sitting at PSA 10, hitting gem mint isn't rare enough to guarantee a windfall. Weigh the grading fee against what you're actually holding before you send it in.
What set is Banette from?+
Banette #234 comes from Ascended Heroes, released in 2026, where it's featured as an illustration rare illustrated by YASHIRO Nanaco. It's one of the more eye-catching pulls from that set, even if it's not the priciest card in the checklist.
